IT’S CONFIRMED: Australia, meet your 2018 Bachelorette.

Australia got a jam-packed Bachelor in Paradise finale. There was love, there was a proposal, there was an almost proposal, and then just when we thought we’d had enough love and excitement for one night – the next Bachelorette was announced.

Moments after Sam proposed to Tara, a voice-over announced that Ali was “giving love another chance” as our next Bachelorette.

Which, if you hadn’t heard the now-obviously-proven-true rumours that she and Grant had broken up post-show, may have seemed a little jarring, given they just erm, expressed their love and commitment for each other.

Over on The Bachelorette Australia’s official Instagram page, we were given somewhat of an explanation.
